INDIANAPOLIS, Ind. -- The OHSAA has approved two rule changes for the 2015 softball season. The changes were recommended at a meeting in Indianapolis in June.

Both changes are rule revisions and state the batting helmet and catcher's helmet shall have a non-glare surface. The reason behind the change is that those helmets have a mirror-like surface that makes them distracting and dangerous.

The rules revised were 1-6-1 and 1-7-1 and the changes took place at the National Federation of State High School Associations meeting in Indianapolis, Ind.
